2.0 out of 5 stars Just ok, April 10, 2008

I got this when I broke the original on my Powerbook. I had had a Mccally before on a G4 Ibook. I thought I save a few dollars buying this one. It's been about a year or more that this one's been ok, but now the connection to the powerbox is inconsistent, aka intermittently broken. I'm over it. I'm going back to the Mcaally. With free shipping the price difference is nothing.

1.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for, August 20, 2008

I thought that I would save a little money and buy this for my 15 inch PowerBook. It was a major mistake.

Pros:
- Less expensive than the Apple and the Macally cords.
- Sturdier piece that plugs into the computer than the Apple cord.

Cons:
- Constant high pitched noise whenever plugged into an electricity source.
- Occasionally gets too hot to touch, and otherwise it's always very warm when the cord is plugged in.
- Connector to the powerbox has gotten very loose the more the cord has been moved.
- Connector to the computer got very loose very fast; pulls out easily, you have to twist it around and push up on the piece to make it work (I usually use something like a stapler to hold it in place).

Overall:
- This cord is awful. Don't waste your money on it. Go for the Macally (or Apple).

This review is from: AC Adapter Charger for Apple Powerbook and iBook 65 Watt (Electronics)

I bought this from that brilliant store or whatever, i can't remember the name, but I had it for 3 minutes and the battery light kicked back on, the only way I could keep it connected is if I rotated the cord in the socket everynow and then, It worked for a month and that was it, nobody was allowed to move the laptop because if you moved it then you worked for two hours trying to get the power cord to send power to the computer. This cord was a piece of crap. I'd never buy it again.
